Active particles in tunable compressible environments
Venkata Manikantha Sai Ganesh Tanuku, Isha Malhotra, Lorenzo Caprini +3
Active particles affect their environment as much as the environment affects their active motion. Here, we present an experimental system where both can be simultaneously adjusted…

Double Mpemba effect in the cooling of trapped colloids
Isha Malhotra, Hartmut Löwen
The Mpemba effect describes the phenomenon that a system at a hot initial temperature cools faster than at an initial warm temperature in the same environment. Such an anomalous co…

Mobile obstacles accelerates and inhibits the bundle formation in two-patch colloidal particle
Isha Malhotra, Sujin B. Babu
Aggregation of protein into bundles is responsible for many neurodegenerative diseases. In this work, we show how two-patch colloidal particles self assemble into chains and a sudd…
